VIOLIN

Dream Meaning

The violin is perhaps the most human of instruments — its tone so close to the resonance of the human voice that it seems to sing with feeling even when no words accompany it. In dreams, the violin represents the expressive dimensions of your emotional life: the capacity to translate inner experience into something that can be shared and received by others with genuine resonance.

Playing the violin well in a dream speaks to a period of authentic emotional expression, a time when you are finding language — in whatever form — for what moves most deeply within you. A broken or silent violin is an image of stifled feeling, of emotional intelligence that cannot find an outlet, of beauty in you that remains unvoiced and therefore unfelt by the people who could most appreciate and be moved by it.
